Senses poems


Sensus poems:

The playground with the hill
The rickety old swing was creaking in the wind,
I looked up to the top of the slide that seemed to go on forever,
I was at the top of the hill at the playground , in the smell of the dew on the grass I was fastened,
The blood rushing to my head as I rolled down the hill felt warm and never would I leave, never!

Christmas
You know the jolliest time of the year is near when you can smell the roast in the oven,
The presents are under the tree and you see grandmas that she wrapped delicately, a sweater  she had knitted,
The  prickly christmas tree scratches me as I walk by,
The spice from the gingerbread house tickles my tongue,
The happy carolers sing there melodic song that lifts everyone's spirits,
Merry Christmas everyone

The haunted house
As I entered the house for a dare the cool air embraced me,
I breathed in the dust, making my throat taste like coal, a musty feeling filled my lungs,
Already creeped out I turned to go but I heard a creaking sound coming from behind me,
I turned to see a scared face, blood dripping from both eyes,
He smelt like sweat and blood,

I ran away he grabbed me, I felt I might come to a sticky end

Triplets

Triplets:

Harry Potter
Harry potter defeated voldemort at first,
His luck is kind of cursed,
But in this book you’ll become submersed.

Halloween
Halloween is kind of scary,
Halloween is really eerie,
 Do not enter the cemetery.

Triplets
A triplet has three lines,
Each line rhymes,

Each rhyme rhymes three times.

Bacon
Bacon sizzles on the pan,
Women eat it and so does the man,
Sadly you can’t get it in a can.

Couplets

Couplets:

Room Six
In room six our teacher is miss Down,
When you are in room six you will never frown!

Christmas
Christmas is the time of year when everyone is filled with cheer,
Christmas is really big this holiday is never meer.

Dumbledore
There once was an old wizard called Dumbledore,

He defeated grindelwald far far before.
